On March 23, Professor Saulius Masteika of the Vilnius University and Charles Areni, a researcher at the University of Wollongong in Australia, gave lectures at North-Eastern Federal University.

"I was impressed by the size of NEFU campus, the technical supply of lecture halls. I will also note that the Yakut colleagues have achieved some success in interdisciplinary research", said Professor Charles Areni of Wollongong University. He noted that the practice of inviting foreign professors to lecture gives students the opportunity to look at information in a different way, to find their own scientific and educational priorities. "Such practice will allow the university not only to raise the reputation of the university at the world level, but also will help students, graduate students and teachers to get a unique opportunity to improve their colloquial English, enrich the vocabulary", he said.

"It is gratifying that despite the geographical distance, the Yakut University participates in various international educational programs. I acquainted with the federal university by the educational program Erasmus +, Vilnius University is also its participant", said the professor of Vilnius University Saulius Masteika.

He advised the students of North-Eastern Federal University to focus not only on subjects included in the curriculum, but also try to attend additional electives of other directions. "I know that the system of the higher education in Russia faces some difficulties in implementing an interdisciplinary approach. But the wide range of the student's knowledge will guarantee the quality of professional competences", noted Saulius Masteika.
